Ep52: Disagreeing Without Being Disagreeable

Oct, 12, 2019

When we hear someone make a statement that’s not true, or express a personal opinion that cuts us to the core, it’s easy to react by lashing out and attacking that person. It’s not so easy to offer a thoughtful reply that is both respectful and direct.

Our question this episode: how can we take the high road while still calling someone out on their harmful actions?

Within days of each other, these two people, one a private citizen with almost 3,000 followers, the other a celebrity with over 20 million subscribers, gave equally powerful responses to information and opinions they found hurtful, harmful, and wrong. It shouldn’t be this way, but it’s incredibly rare that someone puts that much thought into sharing how someone else has affected them. It’s worth celebrating and shining the light on those times when disagreement is done right.
